Import Tips
• Include lab analysis proving sugar beet origin to meet subheading criteria and prevent disputes
• Avoid marketing as 'supplements' which could trigger FDA classification under 2106.90.48 for vitamin-added products
• Declare net weight and retail packaging to differentiate from bulk ingredients
